During mechanical ventilation, the respiratory system is under the influence of two pumps, the ventilator pump and the patient's own respiratory muscles. Depending on the mode of mechanical ventilatory support, ventilation may be totally controlled by the ventilator or may be determined by the interaction between patient respiratory effort and ventilator function. In either case, compared to sp...

Abstract Background Undergraduate medical education recognises that patient feedback is potentially valuable for student learning and development as a component of multi-source feedback. However greater exploration how perspectives differ to clinical educators required curriculum improving literacy. This study aimed determine two sources feedback, patients tutors, compare on the same patient-ce...

Feedback from colleagues and patients is a core element of the revalidation process being developed by the General Medical Council. However, there are few feedback tools which have been specifically developed and validated for doctors in primary care. This paper presents data demonstrating the reliability and validity of one such tool. The CFEP360 tool combines feedback from the Colleague Feedb...
